About a month ago, my roommate hit a puppy with his truck by accident
and we brought it home to try to save it but didn't have any luck. We have two cats, one male and one female, and now have 4 kittens. The male is two weeks older than the female and is about 9 months old. When we brought the puppy home the female freaked out and ran away from the puppy and everyone. The puppy's scent and blood got on my roommates sweater and we have washed it about 5-6 times since the incident. Yesterday he went to wash his clothes and was dragging the sleeve of the sweater when the female (pepper) must of smelled the scent and went crazy. A little while later, when she was still in her "defensive", I went to calm her down and she ran away and attacked my neice who was on the other side of the room. She scratched my neices arms and almost got her eye. About an hour later, I went to seperate my other cat from her and she attacked my leg twice for no reason. Since then we have locked her in the bathroom untill we go and get both of them fixed. Please give me any advice you may have on why pepper did this and what we can do to prevent this from happening again.
